Provoked Ellence Complete

2008-12-10T00:07:00.000-08:00

Greetings my netstalkers *waves*.

I know I have not updated in a while, but I was locked up in my "secret lab" finishing the Ellence jewelry set. Namely the Ellence neckaces as they were very uncooperative with being experimented on.

So here are pictures of the completed set then the new release info for the necklace and earrings for the set. I really love the range of looks and style you can get form these pieces. I used same "model" in the full oval and rectangle set shots and the necklace closeup shot all I did was change clothes/hair/eyes and recolour my facial piercings.

This necklace was the bane of my existence for a few weeks but I prevailed, WOOT! I usually have a design for a piece in one sketch then begin a prototype, well with my first sketch I played with several prototypes that ended up in the trash with several expletives uttered. Then it was back to the drawing board and the process repeated not one or two more times; no, with my compulsive perfectionism it was seven more times. lol

Building the rest of the set was rather uneventful besides the creative use of language when I accidentally threw a prim off the sim, but then again prim torturing is messy business. ;P So here is pretty piccies of the other Ellence pieces.

Old "New" News

2008-12-09T23:16:00.000-08:00

I must have forgotten to post a blog update for the releases I did back in October. o.O

I really need to get a brain exchange or something, so anyone who is crazy intelligent and has a photographic memory who would like a brain downgrade please let me know and we'll swap. ;P

So I made my first party hat, and I totally went crazy with the options I could pack into it. Eventually I was forced to strip some of the options due to the limitation of the script I use. Though the moment the script updates come in I'm so all over pimping out the hat, then I will send out updates like a freak.

In the 'I am batshit crazy and obsessively update my older products' news I have a few oldie updates.

I scripted the Moon Melt choker with a reverse texture so now it comes with a white moon drop and black metal and a dark moon drop and white metal. More details can be found in the descriptions for the linked photos. Also with glow controls.

Cynosure Spark Bracelet I did a bit more overhaul to, scripted with separate recolour for several different parts and with a new "heart of the star" center gem with glow controls of course.

Well that is it for "new" old news, now I shall post my new news. :D

New Provoked & OnRez & Xstreet SL Listings

2008-10-16T19:20:00.000-07:00

Hi guys as some of you may have noticed I have a new gifting option available. I purchased the TMC Store Card System and I really think it's neat! Cards can be used by anyone and are transferable; custom amounts available just contact me (Alzubra Jetaime) in world. At the store just look for the sign(s) below to find gift cards in various amounts.

I'm also updating the blog a bit, new links/surls and will organize everything a bit.

New ring in the store, it will also be available on OnRez & XstreetSL when I'm done updating everything (see below).

Cotton Candy Puff Ring - This ring is cute, fun and sugary. It is touch texture change; the cotton candy and the ring band change at the same time though they have separate textures. Enjoy eight flavors. ;P

Comes in Pink, Violet, Blue, Peach and Green; plus I threw in three non-edible 'flavors', Silver, Gold and Copper.

Just in case anyone notices, all my listings on OnRez & XstreetSL will be unavailable for the next few hours as I update the packages and make sure they are all working. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes and thank you for being understanding and patient. If you need to gift something at this time and can not wait, there are store/gift cards available as stated above; and if needed I am more then willing to to package and send a gift on your behalf.

I'm also adding listings for the demos of my products so you don't have to come to the store to get them.

EDIT: ... (Later in the evening) Sorry guys, I pooped out earlier then usual this evening so OnRez & XstreetSL listings will be finished up tomorrow. *crawls off to bed and dies*

Busy and forgetful!

2008-08-23T23:36:00.001-07:00

Oops! I totally forgot to post an update to my blog with my latest releases.

First off I gots me a subscribe-o-matic. So you need to go to my store and give it some clicky action. Just look for this sign.

I will give updates for new stuff, freebies, contests, sales, special offers and rotten fish... you get the idea.

So anyway I'll just quickly lay it out, Night Clubbing and Aztec Celebration, they are new and I like them (yes, I am biased lol). They have earrings, a choker and bracelets.

The night is heating up, the music pumping, and doused in the playful lights you are the vixen of the dance floor. The essence of night clubbing is bold, flashy and stylish.

Night Clubbing - I started this set with the aim of making some really cool clubbing earrings, as you see I decided earrings were not enough, I do that a lot. I had so much fun setting up the shoot for this, I tried different lighting, props and some freebie exorcist influenced poses. lol

Outtakes

On the shores of exotic beaches with whispering breezes finds carefree, opulent and savory style. Aztec gold and clear Caribbean waters is the inspiration, and you are the perfect reflection.

Aztec Celebration - Using the same design from above I decided to give it an entirely new feel. Instead of clubbing I wanted a private suite on an upscale cruise ship, so I broke out the gold and snorkels. I am so excited I finally got an excuse to get myself a fake tan, use porn star poses and wear that Z Gold Swimsuit from Markova Apparel.

Current Stuffs

2008-06-28T12:26:00.000-07:00

Good evening everyone! Just wanted to give an update on my classes, I am getting caught up! I'm only about half a week behind at this point. I'm not going to promise that I'll be back in SL creating new stuff in July since I am not sure how busy I'll be. I dedicate a lot of time to my education being all little miss over achiever with straight A's. Though it's not an easy feat for me with all sorts of dyslexia, concentration and memory problems so I work extra hard to make sure I succeed.

I am hoping I'll have a little more time to myself in the coming weeks, all work and no play is definitely taking its toll. I miss being creative.

Important SL Inventory Loss Bug

2008-05-15T11:19:00.000-07:00

I'm way behind on my SL current events but I just stumbled upon the scary inventory loss bug that seems to be spreading like wildfire through HUD owners across the grid.
Keiki Lemieux creator of HUDDLES animation/AO HUDs, games and gadgets, posted these blog posts in April and May of 2008.
All Users (Basic and Premium) Should Be Able to Request an Inventory Repair
Basic Member who Lost Inventory?
If you lose inventory, make sure you get support from Linden Lab.
Please do read up and vote on the JIRAs she links, Linden Lab needs to be informed of these issues and we the customers need to keep them on task.
I just wanted to help spread the word and let people know so they can keep track of their inventories, yikes!

Second Life JIRA

I was attaching a hud when my other hud with animations-content disappeared.

This is the JIRA for the actual bug itself, please do inform yourselves and if it happened to you, do everything you can to make them notice. I did vote on this issue and you should vote on this issue even if it has not affected you. At this moment I am not sure if I have lost anything, I still have not had time to really look at my inventory thoroughly.

To gather Inventory loss troubleshooting data, let Basic users submit tickets for loss.

Currently basic accounts are not allowed to submit support tickets, while I understand the perks of a premium account include support services. It is unacceptable that basic accounts can not help provide the vital information needed to address these issues that affect all users, in a timely and effective manner. Basic accounts may not be paying in their money directly to Linden Lab but part of it most certainly is ending up there, I don't see why they don't have basic account services (I consider bug reporting and inventory protection basic services see below).

All Users (Basic and Premium) Should Be Able to Request an Inventory Repair

This just basically relates to the above, if the customer can not reliably back up their content themselves then it is Linden Labs responsibility to protect the content of each account and be willing to offer support to restore or repair that content, regardless of account subscription status.

Old & New

2008-05-01T04:46:00.000-07:00

Ok I know there has not been a peep outta me lately but I caved in to my roomate's nagging that I should get my rogue to level 70 in WOW. Now that I've done that there are things a brewing over here, seriously. At this very moment the rest of the old designs have been updated and boxed. I'm taking vendor piccies and they should be up within a few minutes.

Those of you who have been to the store noticed that yes it’s now in the sky again and that it's very much under construction. I'm still making textures and such for all of it. It's my surreal floating Orwellian tainted enclosed utopia with a dash of Beetlejuice that fell down the rabbit hole. I love my crazy. ;P

Otherwise on the new stuff front, I do have some pieces in the works. I also have been doing a lot of RL sketching to better my skills and trying to learn how to make sculpties. I’m certain once I attain a level that I find acceptable you will be seeing some of that weaseling its way into my designs.

Valentine's 2008

2008-02-06T14:29:00.000-08:00

This year for Valentine's I made a set for the couples to match with. I have an overflowing choker of love for the ladies and for the gentlemen a very simple and subtle gold chain with some chained hearts in the links.

They are available in the store as a center display to purchase for yourself or if you need to gift them you can head over to OnRez ('For Him' or 'For Her' respectively) to gift them out to your love this year, they are delivered packaged in pretty heart-shaped gift boxes like the ones in the picture.

Brilliant Spring Again...

2008-01-06T14:45:00.000-08:00

Forgot to post this post earlier but with the new sculpted gems I also remade the Brilliant Spring set. It comes in three different gem color themes, spring being the original, then sunrise and twilight. Also I had to rebuild from scratch on this one so it might be slightly different then the old pieces, but instead of keeping the rings I replaced them with a choker (yes, I love my chokers). So without further ado it's available in store and on OnRez & SLX.

Reintroducing Nightfall Unfading ...

2007-12-15T06:23:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been repacking and updating my onrez and slx servers, very very slowly. I want to make sure everything is still up to my quality standards so some of the old stuff will be gone forever, some of it will go back in as is and some of it will be revamped and re-released.

Ok one of my favorite sets I made is now better than before! Didn't think I could ever get it to look more the way I wanted but I found some fabulous gem sculptie maps that are just divine!

Reintroducing Nightfall Unfading ...

I tried to just replace just the pieces that needed updated but in the end I had to break down and remake everything ground up but they all pretty much have the same general look (as close as I could get to the old version) and they are just breathtaking. I decided to discontinue the earrings for the set though because I really didn't like the old design and I don't really think they are needed with the boldness of the necklaces.

Brace yourself for the awesome glory of blurry images, lol. They've been resized a couple times so makes for fuzzy detail. I also decided on releasing "recolours" and am offering the different pieces featuring 6 different accent stones (ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, smokey topaz and black diamond).

Feel free to go in world or to my onrez or slx site to see non-blurry images.

Still around...

2007-11-29T00:22:00.000-08:00

Well I am still around, and finally got some time to reset up my slx and onrez server/vendors. I have some of my old items up and working on repacking the others. For now I will release new stuff when I have time to finish it, otherwise real life rules my time.

All my earrings are up and ready and I have the Apex male and female wedding sets up. All my jewelry sets will be spilt up individually and some of the pieces discontinued. Hoping to get time for some new stuff soon!

Warrior Pretties...

2007-04-10T23:53:00.000-07:00

NOTE : These armor sets are still in the works with possible sculptie overhauls. 2/6/08

The war is coming; you've chosen your side, now to deck your self with armor to match the glorious power of the winning side!

Not sure if I like posting directly from Picasa... doesn't have all the options. But this is why I locked myself away for the past two weeks, I have been making pretties. Armor sets for female and male, don't worry lots more to come in more pieces for each set plus different designs.

End March News

2007-04-01T04:50:00.000-07:00

I've been having some computer issues and will most likely be offline for a short time while I get them fixed.

I'm going to continue making some new companion pieces to some of the styles that are already out. So if you guys want to see more pieces in a specific style do pipe up! I am definitely going to make some more urban style pieces and most likely introduce a post-apocalyptic line. I've been watching any movies with that theme I can get my hands on, for some reason they make me happy.

Can't wait to get back to creating! <3

TUi Master Jeweler Graduation

2007-03-19T22:52:00.000-07:00

This Saturday will be the Master Jewelers Graduation sale which I will be debuting some new designs at (two of them in the teaser image).

This Graduation event should be all day with various themed mini events throughout and will feature work of all the students (like me!) who made it through the class, they are going to have giveaways, a dj with dancing, freebies, and more!

It will be hosted at MC Designs new mall and act as a sort of debut for the new location.

I will post more info on Friday (with a LM) when all the details are finalized and things are set up. <3

Free Dove Freebies

2007-03-16T23:54:00.000-07:00

Since I really like to have anyone and everyone have quality stuff in their inventories and since when I was a new player the Free Dove really helped me make my avatar not suck. I made four pairs of earrings which can only be found at the Free Dove. Remember to donate some $L while your wandering there if you can, support the freeness!

Don't forget to go shop at the creators stores that you got freebies from so they will keep designing awesomeness for all of us. :D

So I have two earrings per box, one is casual and fun which includes Ablaze and Vivid, the other is more formal or fancy and includes Aristocrat and Enamoured.

Hope you all enjoy! Lots more on the way... seriously my project folder is huge. *laughs*

FREEBIES!!! Reworked old earrings.

2007-03-15T02:02:00.000-07:00

Alright I remade three pairs of my earrings, Bronze Dark Fan, Sparkle Fringe & 80's Hip which actually sort of became two pairs. So 80's hip looks nothing like it did but the design for that went to Optical Hazard, it's a fun cyberpunk kinda deal.

With that I decided to make them freebies! I think there isn't enough quality items being offered to all so they are available on SLEX or SLB or in my store for $1L!

Get everyone you know to get some, get yourself out on a reality show and pimp them out! Spread the free love!

Alzu loves you.

Update Yesterday New Jewelry

2007-03-03T10:30:00.000-08:00

The cold pale moonlight cascades down over the seemingly quiet evening, seeping through the darkness comes the sound of festivity. Nightfall Unfading rests during the light hours, celebrating its return with dancing, feasting and glamour.

Ok, after obsessing about diamond textures for the new set I have it done and released.

Includes necklace, choker, bracelet, ring and earrings!

Find at the mainstore and SLEX or SLB.

Irresistible Newness!

2007-02-27T11:47:00.000-08:00

Just a little teaser of the next jewelry set I'm working on now. Set will be 2 necklaces (choker and regular), ring, bracelet and earrings!

Been working on some fantasy accessories as well and any comments and suggestions are always welcome, I like to make things for my friends and anyone who wants to enjoy my art and support it is a friend. :D

Anyhow already thanks to your inspiration, I have a bunch of things on my to do list and always adding more, its very exciting!

Post Apocalyptic Valentine's

2007-02-22T23:49:00.000-08:00

Being relatively anti-valentine's day (love shouldn't be marketed as a one day thing). I slacked and didn't get to making anything but I finally broke down (even though it's a little late) and pulled out the heart shape from my 'To Do' folder and made something happy! (Yay another thing to cross off my list!)

It's post-apocalyptic rusty debris formed into a heart locked with bright dichroic glass "stones" (with two light blings) captured inside on a dark steel chain.

Available in the usual places, SL Boutique, SL Exchange & the main shop.

Continuing the Love Wave

2007-02-22T17:25:00.000-08:00

As promised the new engagement/wedding set. Still a modern design but more of a flowing natural feel.

- An embrace of fine modern splendor. Devoted, intense and enduring.
Entwined, the unyielding bond of passion eternal. -

80s Revisit

2007-02-22T01:40:00.000-08:00

Finally reworked the texture for the 6th pair of earrings to complete the set of earrings I posted earlier. It looks all shimmery in game, fun!

Available in all the usual Provoked locations.

Tomorrow look for another engagement/wedding set and I'll get to cranking out more fun stuff.

Riding the Love Tidal Wave

2007-02-21T18:45:00.000-08:00

Valentine’s week was CRAZY busy and though exhausting it was rewarding and was fantabulous fun! I didn’t have time to get the previous mentioned updates done yet... but they will come.

Instead I’d like to give the day of candied hearts a proper send off, I have a new engagement/wedding ring set, keeping the true spirit of Valentine’s going year after year.

- A caress of simple modern elegance. True, pure and forever. Apex, the visual summit of love everlasting. -

I have split the set into the male and female sets so it's anyone friendly and you can mix and match with the upcoming sets if your style preferences differ.

Brilliant Spring Refreshed

2007-02-12T18:32:00.000-08:00

I reworked the necklace and bracelet of the Brilliant Spring set. I like it much better now. So new piccies of that. Also I will send those who already purchased the set a new package with the updates in it.

I'm also hoping to get the texture remade for the last pair of earrings that were supposed to go with the previous batch of earrings.

Also this week should bring 5 special sets of rings and I'll break down and make something for Valentines...

Earrings!

2007-02-09T22:36:00.000-08:00

Five individual pairs of earrings. In a variety of styles. All between $35L - $60L.

Available in the main store and on SL Boutique and SL Exchange.

Valentine's Package Promotion

2007-02-09T14:19:00.000-08:00

From now till Valentine's Day I will be willing to repackage and send a gift purchase to that special someone. These elegant heart shaped boxes come in white and red varieties with silver or gold accents. Please contact me in world (Alzubra Jetaime) with the product(s) you'd like to purchase and your choice of box and I'll instruct you for payment.

The Beginning

2007-02-09T11:09:00.000-08:00

A slightly crisp light breeze accompanied with the embracing hum of nature, soft scents of life drift under the gentle returning sun. Brilliant Spring is returning, lazy daytime walks, fresh comforting delicacy and new romances ready to bloom.

A vibrant springtime jewelry set. Includes necklace, bracelet, earrings and two separate rings.

Available now on SL Boutique, SL Exchange and in world at the mainstore and at the Master Jewelers Class display at the Secrets of Gaia store.
